[Verse 1]
Fm C#
Deep in a corner of the night
G# D#
We were lying in the middle of the road
Fm C#
Counting the planes as they flew by
G# D#
Inconceivable imagining them go
Fm C#
And drunk we set the world to rights
G# D#
As we fell and hit our heads upon the curb
Fm C#
You make me laugh until I die
G# D#
Can you think of any better way to choke?
[Pre-Chorus]
C# Fm D# G#
Stories told to me and stories told to you
C# Fm D# G#
And did you ever feel like they were ringing true?
[Chorus]
C#
And all their words for glory
D# Fm
Well they all, they sounded empty
D# G#
When we're looking up for heaven
D#
Looking up for heaven
C# D#
Way down here upon the ground
Fm
When we're lying in the dirt
D# G#
There's no looking up for heaven
D#
Looking up for heaven
Fm C# G# D#
[Verse 2]
Fm C#
Not everything had gone to plan
G# D#
But we made the best of what we had, you know
Fm C#
Passing the drink from hand to hand
G# D#
We admit we really know nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus]
C# Fm D# G#
Stories told to me and stories told to you
C# Fm D# G#
And was it feeling real, and were they ringing true?
[Chorus]
C#
And all their words for glory
D# Fm
Well they all, they sounded empty
D# G#
When we're looking up for heaven
D#
Looking up for heaven
C# D#
Way down here upon the ground
Fm
When we're lying in the dirt
D# G#
There's no looking up for heaven
D#
Looking up for heaven

[Bridge]
C# Fm
I'll take my chances on the curb here with you
D# Cm
We watched the planes leave us behind
C# Fm
On the curb here with you
D# Cm
We watched the planes leave us behind
C# D#
And...and then you put your hand in mine
Fm D#
And pulled me back from things divine
G# D#
Stop looking up for heaven, waiting to be buried
[Chorus]
C#
And all their words for glory
D# Fm
Well they all, they sounded empty
D# G#
When we're looking up for heaven
D#
Looking up for heaven
C# D#
Way down here upon the ground
Fm
When we're lying in the dirt
D# G#
There's no looking up for heaven
D#
Looking up
